There just isn't a lot of great options when it comes to fresh, high-quality food. First Meeting has been the exception. I go out of my way to stop here whenever I can.

The staff is also incredibly friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. Highly recommend--definitely worth a visit if you're in Rochester

Years have passed and I found myself in Rochester recently and wanted to see if it was as good as I remembered.... It was. It is a small shop, only 3 tables to sit at. Most people took their orders to go. The list of sandwiches is extensive but I got the roast beef and smoked Gouda. It was wonderful, the meat was sliced thick and piled high and the cheese had a wonderful smoky taste. I wish I was in the Rochester area more often so I could try other menu items!

Something special. Don't miss out.

CAVEAT: This review is from a vegetarian's perspective…read more The Honker is a Rochester mainstay, and is popular amongst many hospital visitors and locals. Our family came here when we had relatives in the hospital decades ago. I came here with my wife and her older parents. The menu is very classic, old-school diner. My wife and I are both vegetarian. When you go in, you can pretty immediately see the demographic...and it's not necessarily young vegetarian couples! It's a buzzy atmosphere with many older customers. We were served quickly so no complaints there. They also have a clearly labeled vegetarian menu. We ordered the cheese curds -- no complaints. For our mains, we ordered a mushroom burger and a pilaf dish (I think it was Hawaiian)? These were...fine. Mediocre, but serviceable. Our carnivore family didn't seem too impressed by their food either. I will say that the portions are very generous. They also have great senior deals. I won't be coming back, but this is a preference thing rather than a comment on quality, especially when so many great vegetarian options are available in Rochester.

I'm knocking it down some because for a o.k. breakfast it was pretty expensive. Our 2 coffees, an omelet, and a pannekoeken with a 3 slice side of bacon was $55 after tax and pre-tip. We just didn't feel the value was there for something we could easily make at home. Also the requirement of the servers carrying a pannekoeken out to a table to say pannekoeken every 2 seconds was highly annoying.

I did not feel bloated, even though I ate until I was full. That is a sign of fresh and healthy ingredients. I would come back to try more of the menu at any time!

The food is Mexican fusion. Fusion with what?…read more Definitely with something Asian for some of the dishes. And something Barbecue. There may be other influences but those 3 in general cover a lot of styles, each on their own! My person and I shared 2 appetizers. We had Crunchy Wontons with birria (slow roasted beef in a red broth that is then shredded - similar to an American pulled pork in consistency). They had a layer of creamy coleslaw slaw dressing and a layer of corn salsa between the meet and the wonton. Since these were open-faced wantons this was important to keep the balance of each each Wonton 's flavors just right. Oh! The red sauce the meat was in was Kung-Fi Sauce. It was very flavored so in that sense spicy and for me any more of whatever brought the heat might be too much, but this certainly was Master sauce. Steak Fries was the other appetizer. A play on words. French Fries ... extra long, well fried to hold up to the steak toppings and not at all oily. In addition to steak there was guacamole, and another sauce. Huh, I was so dazzled by the excellent steak I can't think of the other ingredients beyond guacamole.. I did end up using a fork to make sure that I got everything onboard the fries But they supplied the forks. I stayed at the Homewood Suites and ordered delivery through Grub Hub. They promised our meal would be there between 17:35 and 17:55. But it arrived at exactly 17:30 t may be relevant to someone to know that my taste buds are very sensitive to any red pepper flakes They cause me to cough whether the finished product tastes spicy or not. I had no problems with any.of their food! Unfortunately, I cannot answer any questions about the restaurant or employees but the food was awesome and timely. They handled special requests like the best of the professionals!
